Head & Neck Microvascular Reconstruction Fellowship
At UCLH (University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) our success starts with you.
This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the largest and most successful Foundation Trusts in the UK, with an international reputation and a strong tradition of innovation.
Based in the busy West End of London, UCLH offers a lively and vibrant working environment, with excellent transport links across all hospital sites. Our size and resources enable us to provide a wide range of attractive benefits, alongside extensive education and professional development opportunities for staff at all levels. This includes a broad portfolio of academic and clinical programmes, ranging from continuing professional development to clinical excellence and leadership training. UCLH is committed to investing in its staff, both in terms of career progression and staff health and wellbeing.
We are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity to recruit one full-time Senior Trust doctor to join the Head and Neck Surgical specialties. The post is expected to commence in January- February 2027 and will be for a period of 12 months.
This fellowship is specifically designed for a surgeon who already has significant prior experience in Head and Neck oncological and ablative surgery and who wishes to further develop advanced skills in reconstructive microsurgery and complex Head and Neck reconstruction.
The successful candidate will be expected to have a solid foundation in the assessment and surgical management of Head and Neck cancer prior to commencing the fellowship. Applicants should already be familiar and competent with core Head and Neck ablative procedures, including neck dissection and major oncological resections. The primary educational focus of the fellowship is therefore not basic training in Head and Neck ablative surgery, but progression towards greater experience and competence in microvascular free tissue transfer, flap harvest, microvascular anastomosis, reconstructive planning and the management of complex reconstructive cases.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The post holder will provide care for both Head and Neck and Maxillofacial patients. The rota and clinical timetable provide substantial exposure to major Head and Neck cancer surgery and reconstructive free flap surgery, with approximately 12 major reconstructive cases performed per month. There will also be opportunities for exposure to facial trauma and aesthetic facial surgery.
The fellow will work within a high-volume multidisciplinary Head and Neck oncology and reconstructive service and will be encouraged to develop progressively greater responsibility in complex reconstructive surgery, according to their previous experience, technical ability and progression during the fellowship.
